Great work - like the tip about not putting spices on the blades - yes, they don't tend to mix in as well that way.  ;)

Really sounds great and vegetarian too !  Those whole follow Kurma will know Hing as asafoetida (sp?)

Ooops - now i see the link !  yeah read it all.

This sounds like a wonderful accompaniment to curry dishes or a meal on it's own. Thanks!
